Dion Gray, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps with building self-awareness, improving self-esteem and making clearer choices about relationships and life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and workplace stress because it offers clear exercises and between-session tasks.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past harm continues to affect day-to-day life and uses gradual, sensitive ways to process those experiences. It can be helpful when trauma or abuse contributes to ongoing anxiety, mood swings or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dion will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The choice of technique often depends on whether someone needs immediate coping tools, deeper exploration of past experience, or a mix of both.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls bring face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options allow short check-ins and written reflections. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or time zones for international clients, while still focusing on meaningful therapeutic progress.
